Spring!!!!!

So today it is glorious at the beach. This is the day we take the pictures! I love living at the beach no matter what the weather but today is exceptional. We are baking bread and cookies. We are supporting a fundraiser for our son by baking cookies. He is selling them at his school. Sad thing for school is that mom's can't bring baked goods because of safety concerns. Kids rarely get to taste homemade goodies. We are blessed with a commercial certified kitchen so we help out when necessary. We launched our gluten free menu this weekend. We still have all of our favorites but now many items are available for people with dietary needs. We make pretty much everything from scratch so it is a pretty small leap to change ingredients to fit what people need. Even though it is a wonderful sunny day I know that planting is not ready yet. I have planted starts inside in anticipation of a summer season. Fresh vegies make things better. Herbs are so much more fragrant from the garden than in little plastic packages from the store. Let's get ready for flavor....

JP's on Facebook

I am making every effort to come into the 20th century. Personally I am pretty comfortable with a rocking chair at the General Store as a venue for swapping stories and socializing. I like simple things and the mass social media is not really simple for someone like me. That said, I recognize the benefits of reaching a lot of people quickly. Anyone who knows me, knows I can talk. (Understatement) I love people and I love to hear their stories. If I did nothing else visiting could be my profession. I joined Facebook as a way to keep up with my many children. I could peek at their lives and not intrude. I love seeing what they do and who they are friends with. I have been able to do the same with friends and old schoolmates. You know how it works and how much fun it can be. Now the restaurant gets to participate. Look for us on facebook and "like" us. We will keep you updated on what we are doing and tempt you with new specials. If you have been here...tell us about it. I you have not been here yet...Come on down!!! Soups on!
